The Founder of American Ayurveda

American Ayurveda is the brainchild of Dr. (Vaidya) Vasudha Gupta, a founding member who first visualized the concept and remains actively involved in its day-to-day affairs. She is a graduate of R. A. Podar Medical College, Mumbai, India, where she was conferred the degree of BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) by Mumbai University after completing the required course of study and a mandatory hospital internship.

She belongs to a select batch of students trained to practice both Western (Allopathic) and Ayurvedic medicine in India, having completed a special dual-discipline program that required 7½ years of study instead of the standard 5½. She also pursued specialized training in Sanskrit — the language of Ayurveda’s original texts — so she could read and interpret them directly and develop a deeper understanding of the science.

A Focus on Women’s Health

During her studies, Dr. Gupta developed a particular interest in Ob/Gyn and the many issues surrounding women’s health. She actively contributed to research formulating and testing Ayurvedic preparations for various women’s health conditions, working under the guidance of the late Dr. (Vaidya) Mrs. Koppikar.

Training in Pulse Diagnosis

She is also a disciple of Guruji Vaidya Vyas, an expert pulse reader, who personally taught her the science of Pulse Reading and Diagnosis — a discipline not included in the standard curriculum and traditionally passed down only through one-on-one mentorship. Dr. Gupta came to see mastery of pulse diagnosis as essential to becoming a truly effective Ayurvedic healer.

Building a Practice, One Patient at a Time

At a time when most people were turning to Western medicine (Allopathy) for quick results, Dr. Gupta established a private practice in Mulund, a suburb of Bombay, India. There, she spent years educating and motivating patients to embrace pure Ayurvedic herbal preparations for a wide range of health conditions — helping make Ayurveda part of their everyday lives.

Bringing Ayurveda to the United States

In the United States, Vaidya Vasudha works as an Ayurveda Consultant and Health Coach, educating and training people in the art of this ancient science. She has conducted seminars at NYU Medical Center in New York and at numerous other institutions to teach the principles of Ayurveda and how to weave them into everyday life.

She serves as faculty at both the Open Center and the Dinacharya Institute in New York, and has appeared on live television programs on ITV and the Veria Channel to discuss Ayurveda and offer Ayurvedic perspectives on a range of health conditions. She also helped create this website to further her mission of spreading Ayurveda throughout the United States and around the world.

A Trusted Name in Ayurveda

Dr. Vasudha Gupta is widely regarded as one of the leading Ayurveda doctors in New York City — respected by clients and students alike, as reflected in the substantial client and student base she has built across the tri-state area. She is especially known for her skill in pulse analysis, and for combining nutritional counseling with a classical Ayurvedic approach to help clients address serious health concerns.
